the fact is that mitt romney stands for nothing. john huntsman had it right in the primaries when he said that mitt romney was like a well-oiled weather vane. this man seems to have no core convictions and consequently his campaign is flounderring flopping back and forth. even his supporters don't really know what he stands for because he doesn't stand for much except for tax cuts for really wealthy people. i think that's the core of his campaign and that's the problem. and that's why here in ohio he's not going over very well. this latest poll is an accurate reflection of what's going to happen in ohio come november 6th. no republican has won the presidency without winning ohio and mitt romney is not doing well in ohio right now. >> can you imagine presenting yourself as a candidate where you say i have a tax plan. i'm going to change your tax returns in very significant ways. however, i can not tell you about that. you're just going to have to vote for me and then you'll find out whether you still have a mortgage deduction, whethe

romney finally sold those shares. he sold his shares the day before he appeared at this republican debate in iowa. i don't know if he thought he would get asked about them or not. now all of this it notes that he's not necessarily personally making the call on these investments. his money is kept in a blind trust. that said the idea you don't have to answer for investments made through a blind trust has been debunked on american politics. i thought this guy's argument was the most convincing on that. >> the blind trust is an age-old rouge to say you can tell the blind trust what it can and can't do. >> those rules include go ahead and invest my mitt romney bucks in the chinese oil company that calls itself a weapon and does business with iran just to spite us. while you're running for president, do that. you know, the election has already started. almost half the states in the country, people can get access to a ballot and vote by mail if they want to. you can do in-person early voting in idaho, south dakota and vermo
